Electronic Indexing
Each time you begin recording (after the
camcorder has been turned off for at least
four hours), the camcorder automatically
records an index mark at the beginning of
the new recording.
When you play back the indexed tape in a
VCR that has a compatible indexing
feature called "VHS Index Search
System" the invisible marks can be
located automatically. See your VCR
Owner's Manual for index playback
instructions.
INDEX
INDEX Display in
LCD Monitor or Viewfinder
When the DISPLAYbutton is pressed so
the displays appear, INDEX appears
briefly to let you know the camcorder is
recording an index mark.
Note: The camcorder does not record index
marks every time you stop and start recording.
An index mark is recorded only once - at the
start of each day's recording session
(or whenever the camcorder has been turned
off for four hours).
